There are plenty of stations with much less passenger traffic where they
keep the lifts going. Goodge St, for example. It's close enough to both
Warren St and TCR that it's a bit of a luxury.


Its a pity the tube doesn't have local and express lines like the new york
subway. I know the met sort of has them but its not really the same thing
since its way out of the centre.


There was, of course, a pre-war plan to have just such an express line
paralleling the Northern Line. And hence the bunker (in the vacant
station tunnels) at Goodge St.
